Daily I swap between my 2013 Ram Crew Cab and my Ferrari 458. We also have a 2015 Chevy Diesel.

I have a 2005 F150.  Bought it used for $5k, and it's been a pretty solid work truck.

i had an 02 tacoma for years. 2 kids didn't seem to fit in the little cab and the wife made me get rid of it. oil and front brakes were the only thing i ever did to it. man i miss that truck! now i have a fake truck, a honda ridgeline. fits 2 kid seats really nice and still has a bed for driving shirt boxes all over the city.

My wife wants me to get something kid friendly as well, but there is no way I'm selling the tacoma until it costs more to dix it than to buy another one. I just love it too much.

Our other car is a 2008 Honda CRV which is pretty much the best "car" I've ever owned. Fits a shocking amount of stuff and super kid friendly. Great gas milage, safe, etc. I'm not sure what we would get next honestly. I know some people like the hybrid styles like the Avalanche, but I can't stand them. It's like having half a truck and half an suv without the real benefit of either. Just my opinion of course.

Had a '07 Silverado LTZ with the VortexMAX 6.0 engine. Friggin' loved that truck, I drove it till one of the cylinders died. I am not Mr. car repair so I had to sell it off and get a new one. Bet the kid that bought it knew exactly how to fix it and now he has a workhorse. The new truck I bought is supposed to be nicer just with a smaller engine. There are a 3 things that they have had to address and repair in the 1 year I have had it which sucks.

A 2005 Ford Ranger. Great gas mileage, comfortable, 96,000+ miles and all I've ever done is one set of tires, one battery, coolant change, transmission oil change, and oil changes. I regret getting the stick shift, though. Gettin' lazy in my golden years.
Other rides are an '86 Sportster with 97,000+ miles and on '09 LowRider I picked up on the cheap from a lady rider last year - had only 2500 miles on it.

i know i might get laughed at but - i drive a 2005 Toyota Prius.

before the prius i had a 1998 jeep cherokee classic, and before that it was a 1990 jeep cherokee laredo.  after driving those into the ground (not difficult with jeeps) i needed something that got better gas milage, and was more reliable.

i love jeeps, but living up in New Hampshire - the salt they put on the roads kills them.  ever have a gas tank strap rust through? 

i sold the 1990 to a friend that drove it till the door rusted off.
i sold the 1998 to my brother in law - he wanted the axles for his jeep.

now i get about 45mpg and have zero issues at 132,000 miles (i bought it used).

more of a four door sedan kind of guy. Like the V8s or turbos so even if they are heavy there is a lot of giddy up an go. Have a nice BMW bike too that's been sitting for a while. Finally got it registered and insured aging for this season. So two out of three stooges ride the bimmers (no, not the Dave kind!).
